Hi all. I'm attaching a picture below of my great grandfather and his depot hack. I know it's a long shot but I'm hoping to find the plates. The plates are from 1924 and the number is 782-250. I'm not sure if it was only one plate or two. I really hope to find it. If it's on a car that is being used I have a set of 1924 plates that are in mint condition.

You can actually search on the NYS DMV website to see if anyone is using that number. It is a function under the custom plate page. I have used it several times to make sure I could use vintage plates I had bought.

New York plates were, and perhaps still are, issued also by region and sometimes by city. Where did your great-grandfather live? If the plates still exist, perhaps they are more apt to be found locally.
